Day 3: This peanut even tastes like THAI! (vomit)


Ok, so I for sure feel like death. I threw up today...and I've officially decided that I can NOT eat Thai food. Even the smell makes me want to vomit. Ok, so with that said and out of the way...I'll talk about everything that happened today. A day in Thailand feels like a week in the States. WE GOT OUR LUGGAGE TODAY!!!! PRAISE THE LORD!!! I'm not gonna lie, I was kinda beginning to worry...I had a lot to lose in that luggage. But, now it's all good.

So we woke up at 7am and went on an excursion. We road on a boat and visited a snake farm...where Allison, Alyse, and I held a huuuuge snake! We wrapped it around our shoulders and took pictures. I really do like snakes I think. And we saw monkeys, tigers, birds, and other animals at the snake farm. OH! And there was a snake fight and the Thai men were provoking the snakes and getting them to hiss and all that crazy mess! Some ol' boy picked up a viper with his mouth! INSANE! Better him than me...

Hmm...what else did we do? OH! We got a foot massage...gosh Mama Jo is hookin' us up! However, the woman who did mine was kinda of a lezzie and her hands were insanely strong...and I for sure have bruises all up on my calves from it. haha.

We went on a dinner cruise tonight, and I felt like crap almost the whole time. It was miserable. Even the smell of Thai food is enough to make me nauseous. And it was hot, and I can't breathe because of all the pollution here. (It's so tragic, but I was totally THAT girl tonight...haha.) Allison and I went to sit in the AC on the boat and I tried to eat a peanut...quote of the day: "Ugh...even this peanut tastes like (ugh) THAI!" And then I ran to the bathroom to vomit. But on the bright side, after I threw up, I felt waaaaay better...so we all danced with random people for the rest of the cruise. And of course I made the mistake of dancing with some ol' boy from India who proceeded to follow all of us around for the rest of the night...eww. And I also ended up dancing silly with this other guy who was totally legit...he was super cool! Afterward he asked me if he annoyed me like the other Indian guy did and of course I said no. (Another quote: "It doesn't matter what ethnicity you are, a creeper is still a creeper." haha.) So the legit guy asked me where I was from and I said "America" and then asked him the same question. He hesitated, so I asked again. Then he confessed that he was from Iraq with some sort of shameful look...and then said, "But I am not your enemy! My government is crazy!" That is so sad to me, that someone would not want to claim their home country because of the present condition of the world. Stupid war. I'm all about supporting our troops, and I am so thankful for the freedom they provide us with, but I do not agree with half the stuff the US government does. Whatever...I'm not going to get on that soap box.

So anyway, today was long and hard. I'm never hungry, and I dread mealtime. Maybe tomorrow will be better.

I'm out.
Cwalk.
